IBM asks UChicago, UTokyo for help building a 100K qubit quantum supercomputer
IBM plans spend $100 million to build a 100,000 qubit"quantum-centric supercomputer" allegedly capable of solving the world's most intractable problems by 2023 and it's tapped the Universities of Tokyo and Chicago for help.
If IBM is to be believed, its quantum supercomputer will be the foundation on which problems too complex for today's supercomputers might be solved. In a promotional videoSunday, Big Blue claimed the machine might unlock novel materials, help develop more effective fertilizers, or discover better ways to sequester carbon from the atmosphere. You may have heard this before about Watson.
IBM's concept for a quantum supercomputer involves meshing classical computers to four 25,000 qubit clusters – Click to enlarge The situation may actually be worse. It appears that the system will be based on Big Blue's upcoming 133 qubit Heron system which, while smaller, employs a two-qubit gate architecture IBM claims offers greater performance.
